I was "impressed," but MDL is twice what he is. I was saying in comparison to De Ligt, he's only better in those two areas, Matt is better in all others.

According to a report from La Gazzetta dello Sport (as captured by Football Italia), Bayern Munich might have shifted its focus to Napoi striker Victor Osimhen after Tottenham Hotspur rejected the club’s initial bid for Harry Kane:
The biggest obstacle in the pursuit of the Englishman is the willingness of Spurs chairman Daniel Levy to sell the 29-year-old scoring machine. As for Osimhen, the links to Bayern Munich has been there for quite some time, but his price is expected to exceed what the Bavarians are willing to spend.

According to a report from La Gazzetta dello Sport (as captured by Football Italia), Bayern Munich might have shifted its focus to Napoi striker Victor Osimhen after Tottenham Hotspur rejected the club’s initial bid for Harry Kane:
Tottenham have rejected a €70m offer for the England international, demanding €90m, so Bayern Munich have put talks on hold and consider making an offer for Osimhen. Thursday’s printed edition of La Gazzetta dello Sport (page 14) claims the Bavarians are unwilling to match Napoli‘s €180m asking price but will offer more than €100m.
Bayern would rather pay this fee for a 24-year-old striker than €90m for Kane, who will turn 30 on July 28. Talks between the club and the player’s entourage have already begun. It remains to be seen if it will be enough for Napoli, who have reportedly rejected a €100m offer from PSG. Liverpool are also interested in Osimhen.
The details of this particular report are a little sketchy at best. By all accounts, Osimhen will cost even more than Kane and some recent stories even indicate that Bayern Munich is ready to shell out €100 million for Kane...today.Bayern would rather pay this fee for a 24-year-old striker than €90m for Kane, who will turn 30 on July 28.

Updates on Mbappé’s possible move to Madrid (90Min.com)
90Min.com captured a few reports on a potential move by Paris Saint-Germain star Kylian Mbappé to Real Madrid. Let’s take a look at how that situation is going...
According to The Sun, Manchester United will also be a player for Mbappé:
Manchester United have been tipped to rival Real in pursuit of Kylian Mbappe.
Per RMC Sport, there is some doubt that Real Madrid can actually sign Mbappé:Ferland Mendy’s agent has claimed in an interview that Real don’t have the finances to sign Mbappe this summer. “They cannot cope with his salary of €40m net per year, plus the famous bonus of €30m net per year. He earns between €70m to €75m net, while Benzema earned €13m.”
Finally, The Athletic thinks that Real Madrid would be willing to transition any fee it would conceivably pay for Mbappé into a signing bonus if he waits a year and moves to Los Blancos on a free transfer:If Real wait until next year to sign Mbappe as a free agent, they could offer similar terms to the deal proposed in 2022 - including a €130m signing bonus.

This is all that matters in modern football. The rest kind of follows. But reality is that Villa will struggle to finish 7th each season because of the depth at the top of the league, so it makes you wonder why good players go there. Do they just want to play in the PL and be paid a lot? Probably.
Clearly not many top teams were after him, especially when you see the big discount he is signing for. Villarreal clearly need the money.

In an interview with La Gazzetta dello Sport in November 2007, Berlusconi said, "I see Serie A getting more and more poor. We’re leaders now but in 15 years we’ll be a supermarket. The EPL will be the number one league with everyone else behind them. We don’t have funds. Then the Arabs will come into football and we don’t have any appeal anymore. There’s no infrastructure or new stadiums. We’re still behind by 30 years."
He also mentioned that clubs in England and Germany are improving their academies while Italian teams are ‘standing still’. Berlusconi's prediction turned out to be remarkably accurate, as Serie A has lost its status as one of the top leagues in Europe, while the Premier League has become the most popular and lucrative league in the world.
According to KhelNow, Serie A is now the fifth most-watched league in the world, even behind the Ligue 1 and Mexican Liga Apertura. It has also fallen to fourth in the Global Football rankings which signifies the strength of the league. No Serie A team has won the Champions League in the last 12 years with Inter Milan being the last Italian team to win the trophy in the 2009-10 season.
The Arab investors have also made their presence felt, buying clubs like Manchester City, Paris Saint-Germain, and Newcastle United, and spending lavishly on players and managers. Berlusconi himself sold Milan to a Chinese consortium in 2017 for €740 million, ending his long and successful association with the club. The politician later bought Monza, a third-tier club, and led them to promotion to Serie A for the first time in their history.
Berlusconi foresaw the future of football and the Italian management has since done nothing to improve the league. The teams in Italy have also failed to utilize the young talent in their squad with any team rarely giving minutes to their young prospects. The Italian national team has also gone downhill after Euro success as they failed to qualify for the 2022 World Cup. Berlusconi’s death has been mourned by many figures in football, politics, and entertainment, who have paid tribute to his legacy and achievements.
16 years later he's not wrong

My understanding is Villa are paying just short of his release clause which is 50+ mill which to anyone outside of England is alot of money.
